Polymethacrylate (PMA) Viscosity Index Improvers for Ultra-low Temperature Oil
Ultra-low temperature oil is widely used for mechanical equipment in extremely cold regions with a working temperature as low as -50℃, whose harsh environment makes enormous demands on the viscosity-temperature performance, especially the low-temperature performance, of the oil. To be specific, ultra-high viscosity index, ultra-low pour point and low-temperature kinematic or dynamic viscosity are required, and the shear stability of the oil under certain working conditions needs to be taken into consideration as well. Our products designed for ultra-low temperature oil show better performance in such respects, and this series of products can also be used when similar performance is asked for, such as in aviation oil and high-performance shock absorber oil. The products in the following tables are developed with differentiated focuses for the performance, such as viscosity index improvement and shear stability, in order to meet all kinds of needs.
